RowdyRebel Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 That looks like a fatal mechanical breakdown and that motor is now junk. It will have to be removed from your truck post haste and replaced with one that has not experienced that problem. I know of an E7-460 you could have for cheap if you allow me to dispose of that V8 for you...... ....figgered it was worth a try. Can ya blame me for tryin?

Freightrain Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Once I popped a stud in my 673 the other summer, I heard all my trucking buddies tell of they times they always had spare studs for whatever they were driving at the time just for fixes like that.
